    Went to work in whites today!

    RNsRWe replied to SHGR's topic in General Nursing

    I have to tell you the only time I've donned cap and whites was for Halloween....but all the patients and much of the staff complimented me on looking like a 'real nurse'"! :) Nearly hung myself on...

    Perhaps I should tell people I'm studying to be a neurosurgeon. I read an article on it very recently, you know....AND saw a

    RNsRWe replied to psu_213's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    But think of it another way: why should government, politicians get involved at all, really? Isn't it up to the adult who enrolls in these schools to weigh the pros and cons and then be held...

    RNsRWe replied to psu_213's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And I'd be placing the emphasis not on 'new grad' but 'new grad Associate Degree business major'. Because when there are (and there are) MBAs who are struggling to find work, what's the guy with the...

    Yet another reason I don't watch TV. I'd be yelling at the screen, and my stress level is high enough already. A distant relative of mine spent about $10K to become a medical assistant several...

    Reccomend a gender neutral title to replace "Nurse"!

    RNsRWe replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    No one who is A&Ox3 is going to flame you for that post. :) But you might want to consider all the other fields that have been traditionally male and now females are in in significant numbers. If...

    And if it's cute scrubs that's the goal, LOL.....every girl sitting behind a computer at my medical office wears them. Never see a patient (unless they get one who's peering through the little...

    RNsRWe replied to psu_213's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Especially since they finish with no degree (it's a certificate of completion) after spending at least as much as anyone paying for an actual ADN. The shame here is this person didn't think to do any...

    how to transfer lisence between states?

    RNsRWe replied to katjamarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Leenak is correct, check the BON website. Just as an FYI, you aren't really seeking to "transfer" your license (once you have it), you are seeking an endorsement from the Indiana State BON. Your...

    RNsRWe replied to ALQUWEZ's topic in General Nursing

    You aren't asking for help, you're asking us to DO your homework for you. An interview for a school assignment requires you to meet with a live nurse and....well...interview him or her. Providing a...

    Agreed about the free stuff; I guess it's the only way that they DO show appreciation so of course we want it! :) Free=Gift, which of course is what people expect as a means of showing appreciation....

    I remember when I worked in the hospital this was all I'd hear: "Nurse's shouldn't be the only ones to get special attention", "Why should nurses be the only ones to get free stuff", etc etc. Ok,...

    I work in a medical practice nowadays, not the hospital, and we employ only a handful of actual nurses (lots of pretend ones, that's another story) so of course there's no recognition. But for the...

    RNsRWe replied to RhodeIslandMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I want to be a space alien when I drop nursing. Ok, so that's not a viable career, but still......I'm often enticed by the idea that my new career could be on the horizon. Whatever that is

    Just curious, but is yours a union facility? I know of union places where those who got shift diff for the shifts they worked also got it for PTO, but not non-union. Sasha said her facility used to...
